Two Sided Faces

Each follows a path.

Some guide, some lead.

 

It's not always a choice.

Whether we fail or succeed.

 

To keep trying is the fuel.

To succeed is the goal.

 

While others insert

Stumbling blocks in our path.

 

We’re taught to admire,

To envy and wish.

 

We were the focus

Of all the other “fish”.

 

We swim in circles

Trying to succeed.

 

Following behind

Crumbs satisfy.

 

Then one day we see

It’s not worth the chase.

 

We turn and we walk

A smile on our face.

 

Success is two faced.                                                                                                         We chose or replace.
